    jQuery.NiceScroll

    v. 3.7.6

    The best nicescroll release ever - extremely smooth and consistent in modern browsers and mobile devices, with low resource usage

    Nicescroll as a Greasemonkey plugin: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/119910 (freezed)

    Nicescroll is a jQuery plugin, for nice scrollbars with a very similar ios/mobile style.

    • HORIZONAL scrollbar support!
    • It supports DIVs, IFrames, textarea, and document page (body) scrollbars.
    • Compatible with all recent desktop browsers and older: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, IE8+, Safari (win/mac), Opera. (all A-grade browsers)
    • Compatible with mobile devices: iPad/iPhone/iPod, Android 4+, Blackberry phones and Playbook (WebWorks/Table OS), Windows Phone 8 and 10.
    • Compatible with all touch devices: iPad, Android tablets, Window Surface.
    • Compabible with multi-input devices (mouse with touch or pen): Window Surface, Chrome Desktop on touch notebook.
    • Compatible with 2-directional mice: Apple Magic Mouse, Apple Mouser with 2-dir wheel, PC mouse with 2-dir wheel (if browser support it).

    What you get: customizable and scrollable divs with momentum for iPad and consistent scrollable areas for all desktop and mobile platforms.

    Sexy zoom feature: you can "zoom in" on the content of any nicescroll enabled DIV. Nice to use and nice to see: all the content of the DIV in fullscreen mode. It works on desktop (double click on div) either in mobile/touch devices using the pinch gesture.

    On modern browsers hardware accelerated scrolling has been implemented. Using animationFrame for smoother and cpu-saving scroll animations. (when browser supports)

    "Use strict" tested script for maximum code quality. Bower and AMD ready.

    Warning for IE6/IE7 users: support for your browser has been deprecated. (Why do you still use this? Please upgrade to a more stable and modern browser)

    FEATURES

    • Simple installation and activation: functions with NO modification of your code. (some exceptions can happen, in which case you can write to me.)
    • Very stylish scrollbars with no occupation on your window: original browser scrollbars need some of page space and reduces window/div usable width.
    • You can style main document scrollbar (body) too! (not all devices/browsers support this feature yet)
    • You can scroll by dragging the cursor, mouse wheel (speed customizable), keyboard navigation (cursor keys, pagup/down keys, home/end keys) on all browsers.
    • Scrolling is smooth (like modern tablet browsing). Speed is customizable.
    • Zoom feature.
    • Hardware accelerated scroll (where available).
    • Animation frame support for smooth scrolling and cpu-saving.
    • Dragging scroll mode with scrolling momentum (like touch devices).
    • Tested for all major mobile and desktop browser versions.
    • Support for touch devices.
    • Support for multi-input devices (MSPointer/Pointer support).
    • Compatible with many other browsers and webkit derivatives!
    • Scrollbar has a lot a customizable features.
    • Native scroll events are working.
    • Fully integrated with jQuery.
    • Compatibile with jQuery UI, jQuery Touch, jQuery Mobile

    DEPENDENCIES

    jQuery is required to be included in your scripts. Works with jQuery 1.x / 2.x / 3.x branch (slim version don't works)

    • INSTALLATION Put loading script tag after jquery script tag and loading the zoom image in the same folder of the script:

    When using the zoom feature, copy "zoomico.png" in to the same folder as jquery.nicescroll.js.

    • HOW TO USE

    ALWAYS Initialize nicescroll in a (document) ready statement.

    // 1. Simple mode, it styles document scrollbar:
    $(function() {  
        $("body").niceScroll();
    });
    
    // 2. Instance with object returned:
    var nice = false;
    $(function() {  
        nice = $("body").niceScroll();
    });
    
    // 3. Style a DIV and change cursor color:
    $(function() {  
        $("#thisdiv").niceScroll({cursorcolor:"#00F"});
    });
    
    // 4. DIV with "wrapper", formed by two divs, the first is the vieport, the latter is the content:
    $(function() {
        $("#viewportdiv").niceScroll("#wrapperdiv",{cursorcolor:"#00F"});
    });
    
    // 5. Get nicescroll object:
    var nice = $("#mydiv").getNiceScroll();
    
    // 6. Hide scrollbars:
    $("#mydiv").getNiceScroll().hide();
    
    // 7. Check for scrollbars resize (when content or position have changed):
    $("#mydiv").getNiceScroll().resize();
    
    // 8. Scrolling to a position:
    $("#mydiv").getNiceScroll(0).doScrollLeft(x, duration); // Scroll X Axis
    $("#mydiv").getNiceScroll(0).doScrollTop(y, duration); // Scroll Y Axis
